[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A multifunctional combined connector includes a socket 2 provided with a plurality of sockets 1, a plug 3 corresponding to the sockets 1, a locking assembly 4 arranged between the plug 3 and the socket 2, a portion of the wire body 5 is fixedly connected to the plug 3, and the number and position distribution of the sockets 1 can be set according to specific needs, such as Figure 1 As shown, the number of sockets 1 is five, three of which are distributed on the front side of the socket 2, and the remaining two are distributed on the back side of the socket 2. The plugs 3 are respectively plugged into the corresponding sockets 1. During the connection process, when the plug 3 is inserted into the socket 1, the locking component 4 limits the plug 3 so that the plug 3 is firmly connected to the corresponding socket 1, and clamps and fixes the wire body 5 so that the wire body 5 and the plug 3 are in a firmly connected state. At the same time, the locking component 4, the plug 3 and the socket 2 are locked and connected together to form an integrated structure, which fully improves the stability and reliability of the connection state between the plug 3 and the socket 2, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the use of the connector, and the locking component 4 can quickly and conveniently complete the limit locking work as well as the unlocking and disassembly work.

[0025] participate Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The locking assembly 4 includes a control body 41, an elastic body 42, a plug-in 43, a plug hole 44, a transverse limiting body 45, a longitudinal limiting body 46 and a sliding body 47. Figure 2As shown, the control body 41 is symmetrically distributed up and down and is respectively located above and below the socket 2, the elastic body 42 is connected between the symmetrical control bodies 41 and the elastic body 42 is symmetrically distributed left and right, the plug 43 and the socket 44 cooperate with each other to form a locking unit, and the locking unit is respectively located between the plug 3 and the socket 2 and the socket 2 and the control body 41, the transverse limiting bodies 45 are symmetrically distributed up and down and the transverse limiting bodies 45 symmetrically distributed up and down constitute a clamping unit, and the clamping unit corresponds to the plug 3 one by one, the longitudinal limiting bodies 46 are symmetrically distributed up and down and the longitudinal limiting bodies 46 symmetrically distributed up and down constitute a limiting unit, and the limiting unit corresponds to the plug 3 one by one, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As described above, the upper longitudinal limiter 46 in the limiter unit and the upper transverse limiter 45 in the clamping unit are connected to the upper control body 41, and the corresponding lower longitudinal limiter 46 and the lower transverse limiter 45 are connected to the lower control body 41. The sliding body 47 is connected to the socket 2 by sliding left and right, and all the plug-ins 43 are fixedly connected to the sliding body 47. In the initial state, the upper and lower symmetrical control bodies 41 maintain a stable distance from the socket 2 under the action of the middle elastic body 42, such as Figure 1As shown, at this time, the plug 3 can be smoothly inserted into the corresponding socket 1, and the longitudinal limiting body 46 and the transverse limiting body 45 are distributed in a vertically symmetrical state, fully leaving the space on the left and right sides near the socket 1, providing sufficient operating space for the plug 3 to be inserted into the socket 1. When the plug 3 is inserted into the corresponding socket 1, it is only necessary to press the upper and lower symmetrical control bodies 41 toward the middle so that the upper and lower symmetrical control bodies 41 are respectively pressed against the upper and lower surfaces of the socket 2. At this time, the longitudinal limiting body 46 in the limiting unit presses against the plug 3 to limit the plug 3, so that the plug 3 and the corresponding socket 1 are firmly plugged together, the plug 43 in the locking unit between the plug 3 and the socket 2 is aligned with the corresponding socket 44, the longitudinal limiting body 46 in the clamping unit limits and clamps the corresponding wire body 5, and the plug 43 in the locking unit between the socket 2 and the control body 41 is aligned with the corresponding socket 44, and then the sliding body 47 slides to the right, uniformly controls the plug 43 to be inserted into the corresponding socket 44, and finally releases. The control body 41 is then released. At this time, the control body 41, the socket 2 and the plug 3 are locked together to form an integrated structure, which effectively improves the stability of the entire structural state. After the control body 41 is released, the elastic force of the elastic body 42 acts on the control body 41, further increasing the stability and reliability of the overall structure. In the subsequent disassembly process, it is only necessary to reset the sliding body 47 to separate the plug 43 from the corresponding socket 44. At this time, the control body 41 is automatically reset under the action of the elastic body 42, and the corresponding transverse limit bodies 45 and longitudinal limit bodies 46 are automatically reset with the reset of the control body 41. After the locking assembly 4 is restored to its initial state, the plug 3 can be smoothly pulled out to complete the disassembly. Among them, in order to facilitate the sliding of the sliding body 47 and avoid structural damage, before resetting the sliding body 47, the control body 41 is pressed again to make the control body 41 stably in the current pressed state. After the sliding body 47 is reset, the control body 41 is smoothly released to make the control body 41 smoothly reset under the action of the elastic body 42.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The elastic body 42 includes a base 422 slidably connected to a sliding member 421, the base 422 is fixedly connected to the socket 2, the sliding members 421 are symmetrically distributed up and down and are respectively fixedly connected to the control body 41 symmetrically up and down, an elastic member 424 is arranged between the symmetrical sliding members 421, and a limiting member 423 is arranged on the base 422, and the limiting member 423 limits the sliding range of the sliding member 421, such as Figure 4As shown, the limiting member 423 corresponds to the sliding member 421 one by one, and the limiting member 423 includes a limiting groove 4231 and a moving block 4232 moving along the limiting groove 4231, the moving block 4232 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 421, and the limiting groove 4231 is provided on the base 422. The limiting groove 4231 limits the moving block 4232, thereby limiting the sliding range of the sliding member 421. Combined with the action of the elastic member 424, the control body 41 can maintain a stable distance from the socket 2 in the initial state, so that the plug 3 and the socket 2 can complete the plugging and disassembly work smoothly.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The control body 41 includes a pressing plate 411, a connecting piece 412 and an extending piece 413. The extending piece 413 corresponds to the lateral limiting body 45 one by one, and the lateral limiting body 45 is connected to the extending piece 413. The pressing plate 411 is abutted against the socket 2 in the locked state. The connecting piece 412 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 411, and the connecting piece 412 is vertically slidably connected to the socket 2. The jack 44 in the locking unit between the control body 41 and the socket 2 is provided on the connecting piece 412. The pressing plate 411 is limited by the sliding connection between the connecting piece 412 and the socket 2, so that the pressing plate 411 can move stably in the vertical direction. The fitting limit of the pressing plate 411 and the socket 2 combined with the sliding connection of the connecting piece 412 and the socket 2 facilitates the accurate alignment of the jack 44 on the connecting piece 412 with the corresponding plug-in 43, which is conducive to further improving the convenience and smoothness of the connector connection. The sliding piece 421 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 411.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The transverse limiting body 45 includes a limiting head 451 provided with an arc-shaped clamping surface, a longitudinal slider 452 is fixedly connected to the limiting head 451, and a transverse slider 453 is connected to the longitudinal slider 452 for sliding up and down, the transverse slider 453 is connected to the extension piece 413 for sliding back and forth, and an elastic suppression piece 454 is connected between the transverse slider 453 and the extension piece 413, and the contact surfaces of the longitudinal slider 452 and the extension piece 413 are both inclined. During the process of pressing the control body 41 toward the middle, after the limiting head 451 contacts the wire body 5, as the control body 41 continues to press toward the middle until it is abutted against the socket 2, the pressure exerted by the extension piece 413 on the limiting head 451 increases, and the limiting head 451 moves toward the direction of the socket 2 through the inclined contact surface, which is beneficial to a certain extent to make the wire body 5 between the clamping unit and the plug 3 in a relaxed state, thereby facilitating the stability and reliability of the connection state of the connector.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The longitudinal limiting body 46 includes a fixed connection part 461 and a rotating contact part 462 of a cylindrical structure. The rotating contact part 462 is rotatably connected to the fixed connection part 461 and contacts and limits the corresponding plug 3. The fixed connection part 461 is fixedly connected to the extension part 413 and is slidably connected to the socket 2. In the process of the upper and lower symmetrical control body 41 being pressed toward the middle, the fixed connection part 461 moves accordingly, and the rotating contact part 462 thereon contacts and limits the corresponding plug 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the upper fixed connection part 461 moves downward, and the rotating contact part 462 thereon moves downward accordingly and contacts the plug 3 until it abuts against the plug 3, thereby completing the limiting of the plug 3. During the entire limiting process, the rotating contact part 462 reduces the friction force generated during the limiting process by rolling, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness and stability of the limiting process, and further helps to improve the smoothness and stability of the connector connection.

[0030] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 A limiting block 48 is fixedly connected to the plug 3, and the limiting block 48 abuts against the socket 2 to limit the plug 3, and the jack 44 in the locking unit between the plug 3 and the socket 2 is provided on the limiting block 48. When the plug 3 is plugged into the corresponding socket 1 and the longitudinal limiting body 46 completes the limiting of the corresponding plug 3, the limiting block 48 just abuts against the socket 2 and limits the plug 3 from the outside, and at the same time accurately aligns the jack 44 thereon with the corresponding plug-in 43. On the one hand, the stability of the plugging of the plug 3 is improved to avoid damage to the plug 3 or the socket 1 caused by excessive plugging. On the other hand, it is conducive to the corresponding locking unit to smoothly complete the locking work, so that the plug 3 and the socket 2 are firmly locked and connected together.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The sliding body 47 is a frame structure and surrounds the socket 2 from the outer peripheral side, and its sliding range is limited by the socket 2, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sliding body 47 includes a sliding frame 471 and a connecting limit frame 472. The sliding frames 471 are symmetrically distributed front and back and are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the socket 2 and are connected to the socket 2 for sliding left and right.

The connecting limit frames 472 are symmetrically distributed left and right and are fixedly connected between the sliding frames 471. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, during the locking and unlocking process of the locking assembly 4, it is only necessary to push the corresponding connection limit frame 472 left and right until it is in abutment with the socket 2, which is very convenient and quick.
